Hugo (2011)
Revealing mistake: When the kids see the moon picture on the book, an old, chubby hand lays on the page, obviously not the kids'. When the angle changes, their small thin hands re-appear.

Hugo (2011)
Revealing mistake: When the automaton starts drawing, a thick black piece suddenly appears behind the tip of the pen, most likely some sort of mechanism, or a piece of lead to allow for the drawing to be made.

11th Sep 2011
Knight Rider (1982)
Revealing mistake: The inside shots of Kitt's voice modulator are repeated over and over, with the camera slightly moving sideways, to give the impression of the car running. Problem is, many times the car is at a standstill, so the moving camera shot is inconsistent.

27th Aug 2011
Spider-Man (2002)
Revealing mistake: When Osborn is gassed inside the vault and the doctor comes to aid him, 2 green squares are reflected on his glasses. The green fumes are already gone so it can't be that. Plus from the opposite angle there's no green wall anywhere, so it was the green screen used on the set or a continuity error when fumes were still on the set.

Suggested correction: I think it's the green smoke reflecting on his glasses. The chamber has rectangular windows so that's why the reflections are rectangular.
I don't think it's green screen, they look a bit small for that but there's something there, you are right. There're green little rectangles on his glasses even when he is doing CPR, when he is looking directly at Norman's face but no green stuff around Norman's head. Perhaps green smoke would be harmful or expensive, so they used regular white vapor and shone green lights on the smoke to make it appear green and later forgot to turn those lights off.
There are monitors with green colored animations throughout that scene, in fact we can see a monitor behind the doctor in the shared screenshot. It could be that the monitor is getting reflected on the glass walls of the chamber which then gets reflected on doctor's glasses.

Goldfinger (1964)
Revealing mistake: In Fort Knox, after Oddjob cuts the cables with his hat, he and Bond fight and Bond smashes a metal bar against him. Sean Connery's stunt double is very noticeable because of his longer and bulkier hair.

Revealing mistake: When the cop by the vending machine is about to be killed by the T-1000, the back shot of him reveals he's been replaced by an obvious mannequin. His perfectly trimmed hair along the nape is now long and messy, and a long stitch appears along his sideburn and down to the neck.
